1. Welcome to Assignment Year 2027 (AY27). This message describes the
AY27 timeline and presents available resources to all
Reserve Component Managers (RCMs). The information provided will be
of particular interest to RCMs anticipating AY27 reassignment, it
includes important information to commands and supervisors.
Communication is the key factor in the overall Assignment Year
success, and PSC-RPM is committed to serving our RCM Corps.
2. A complete listing of all boards and panels, including eligibility
criteria, can be found in references (A) and (B). CG PSC utilizes reference
(C) for assignment tour length. In select cases, officer tour lengths may be
extended or reduced based on Service need. All requests to short-tour or
extend must include a Command endorsement with backfill requirements.
3. The AY27 timetable is as follows:
   a. Now through 14 August 2026: RPM Assignment Officers (AOs) are available
      for RCM career counseling and e-resume guidance. RCMs shall review
      reference (D) prior to career counseling.
   b. 15 June 2026: Draft AY27 RCM shopping list published on the CG PSC-RPM
      SharePoint Page for validating command concerns. Provided in a
      spreadsheet format, the shopping list will allow units and/or
      directorates to view all RCM-coded positions, including position-tour
      lengths, and to email command concerns. CG PSC-RPM will release specific
      command concerns instruction, along with email submission and validation
      information via ALCGRSV messaging. CG PSC-RPM-2 SharePoint site:

      for any RCMs requesting voluntary separation in AY27. Members should
      communicate any off-season retirement plans with their AOs, this ensures
